How can Roland miss the very important point about 80's dance music. What made 80's dance music was playing the hardware live as a performance. It started with the TB303, a nightmare to program so you had to put the very basic of baselines then twist the controls over time, after that it kinda caught on.

On the Mac at least, you can easily add the TR-09 (and other boutiques) to an aggregate audio device, along with your main audio interface. Works very well.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks for the input, how's latency and phase coherency in that method?

[@st0rmchild]

@@AudioPilz I use a buffer of 128 samples at 44.1 kHz, so latency is around 10.7 ms, but in Ableton Live I found a MIDI clock offset of -12.6ms is perfect to get everything in sync. I have six boutiques and a System-8, all connected via aggregate device, and several other hardware devices all using MIDI clock. In the aggregate, I have "drift correction" enabled for all devices except my main audio interface. No pops or clicks, but it does use some CPU.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Audio MIDI Setup really needs to not be a hidden unsung gem for Mac producers! It’s also very useful for adjusting gain on a per-channel basis to keep your inputs in balance (not so useful for recording, useful for streaming though)

For Roland's new gear i've had a work around for the interface "issue". Create an aggregate interface, basically a hub for all your interfaces under one name. This is how to use it on Mac, i'm sure there is a windows equivalent for a solution too but this has worked well for me. Worth looking up.

[@AudioPilz]

Interesting! Thanks for posting!

[@robinr22]

It's much much harder on windows unfortunately - there's not really a practical solution.

Its definitely a good solution, but with one caveat - The system latency will only be as good as the worst device in the aggregated chain in my experience. But it works really well overall.

I got a bunch of the boutiques. They're just cheap versions of classics that have gotten too expensive for hobbyists like me.

As a former owner of a real, vintage TR-909, I'll stick to using the sample library (via my MPC 1000) I created before I sold it. But if I really felt the desire to have another hardware unit versus the samples from the O.G, I'd buy the Behringer clone. LOL!

[@AudioPilz]

Using samples is certainly the most convenient way

[@VanguardSound7]

@@AudioPilz Facts! Sampling up to 10+ different hits for every sound wasn't though. It took me a good three hours to do all the different pitches and decay settings on the kick, snare, all three toms, the hats, claps, cymbals, and rim shot. But it was well worth it. And I barely use them alone. They are mostly used to layer and build unique drum hits. Combining them with my Vermona DRM 1 MKlll or Yamaha RY-30. It was fun to learn the ins and outs of the machine in order to really understand what the O.G. process was. But the sounds are a bit dated. And can get lost in the mix unless it utilized very minimalistic instrumentation.

Roland boutiques in a nutshell: Imagine if Fender stopped making electric guitars in 1959. Then they started putting out portable transistor organs with Guitar Hero-like keyboards on the necks. Then the 1980s come, and they create a device that can somewhat recreate the sound of a guitar, but it's tiny, plasticky, and stringless. This would be okay if they didn't still call these devices Strats, Telecasters, and P-Basses. Better yet, imagine if Yamaha stopped making acoustic grands when they started making their Clavinovas.

[@volt7cooltangs701]

MUTE and SOLO modes make the TR-09 very useable for live use. I’m pretty sure the OG 909 didn’t have mute and solo modes. I’m not that fussed not having separate outs to be honest. The size of it is bloody practical. I have owned 2 x TR-909 in the past but just sampled the voices of it in the end and sold them before the internet and ebay sent the prices crazy high. They were superbly built though and looked awesome. Those were the days when everyone went nuts for the Alesis HR-16 “real sounds” and velocity pads. The Boutique 09. I love it. Bought for £270 second hand. Wish it had square USB B or USB C instead of Micro USB power. They look very flimsy & breakable. Oh well, it least it can run on batteries which again is very handy. As you say the dedicated trigger out is great and let’s you free up the Rim. I also love the way the TR-08 and 09 let you program in 32nd notes for trap fills etc. The originals never let you do that and that is much more important to me than separate outs. Shame Roland discontinued this to be honest. It’s one of the best Boutiques and sound wise it’s very, very close to the original. I find the bass drum super usable. Probably has more attack click than on the original which I prefer and you can dial that in nicely. Do love the vids of course, sometimes wish they went longer into “proper” detailed reviews. Guess there are other channels for that. Oh and guys, Florian is right. The TB-3 rocks.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

Bonus points for using the Claude Lelouch 1976 short film in this episode ❤️

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks! That's how people drove their cars in the 70s;)

[@apedap]

Maybe I'd call it new age ambient house #participation

[@AudioPilz]

Good one, thanks!

[@JayyBiiz]

Those title of jam keep getting better

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@leonaRt7470]

Funny that Behringer releases better Roland clones than Roland themselves

[@AudioPilz]

It's so strange

[@hatsaok8153]

tune at the end was a beauty

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@uly1981]

What's this, a drum machine for ants?

[@AudioPilz]

Damn, I should have put this one in!

[@uly1981]

@@AudioPilz and i should have known that wonderful stereo to mono meme before. the power of the internet!

[@0b11000100]

The meta-genre naming is off the charts! I commend you sir.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

Where did you find the old POV street footage for the retro swing jam?

Didn't expect to see this on here, really good video! And I am very late this time- I really like the TR-909 (and if anything, it's my favourite TR drum machine in the TR series) however I already own an Arturia DrumBrute (another Bad Gear) which is like an 808 and 909 together so I didn't see the point in getting a 909 clone/boutique. I instead opted for the Alesis SR-16 (ANOTHER Bad Gear-) and so far have had some really good use out of it! Once again, very good video, can't wait for the next one! Keep up the good work, man!

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

Here in this "Early 90s, minimalist, Super Nintendo, F-Zero practice course, how did I get so old" Jam!

[@AudioPilz]

Good one, thanks!

[@aarocka11]

If you use a piece of software like asio for all(basically a universal asio driver) you can create an aggregate audio device (basically an audio device of audio devices) to solve a lot of the usb audio limitations. You can also do this natively in Mac OS in the sound midi utility by creating an aggregate audio device.

[@AudioPilz]

Interesting, are the signals phase coherent in this configuration and how does direct monitoring work?

[@martinlund4510]

Awesome vid once again ☺️ my #participation entry: "We put the NEIN! in the TR-09" 😁

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks, good one!!!

[@nicholasalexander9010]

I have a TR08 and ALSO come across midi issues. Honestly it has become my least used Roland instrument. Def love to throw a TB3 into any mix!

[@AudioPilz]

TB3 is gonna be legend!!!

[@MrGeoffashley]

If you think those knobs are tiny and crowded...try the SE-02 lol. I say that, but I absolutely love it. I have that and the JU-06 and JU-06a..but SE-02 is by far the best Boutique, and my second favorite piece of hardware I own.

[@AudioPilz]

Yeah, these faders look, erm, challenging;)

[@NunyaB1s]

THAT SYNTH DRONE.... 6:09.... :-P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're making me think I should move the TR-8S a bit higher on my to-buy list. Vanilla or not, the TD-09 was good clean techno rhythm out of the box. I had to do some post processing with the MC-505 to nudge it there back in the day.

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks! That drone was Ableton Operator - pretty nice!
